Historically, this is always what happens. The authoritarians install a murder machine in the law and suddenly find themselves being thrown into it by their overly ambitious subordinates. It's like the Rule of Two for the Sith. The apprentice becomes the master by killing the master and taking his place. They then take up a new apprentice to repeat the cycle.

Pretty sure that’s the Jewish half of the Bible and the Jesus half of it updated it to “turn the other cheek”, no?
Genuine question if someone has a genuine answer. I’m no religious scholar. Just thought the New Testament kinda overrode some of the angry vengeful mean shit in the Old Testament. I realize people just pick and choose passages to meet their moment to moment needs without any concern of overarching values or contradictions. Just curious if Jesus was still all about that eye for an eye lifestyle or if that was something he switched up.

You’re correct. Jesus clearly said “he without sin cast the first stone.” But to evangelicals, that is considered part of the “liberation gospel,” while evangelicals prefer the “prosperity gospel.” The US has spent like 70 years stamping out “liberation gospel” in south and Central America, and they’ve gotten so good at it that they have moved into squashing it in the US as well. The truth is that Jesus’ gospel more closely resembles socialism or social democracy than it does libertarianism or capitalism. It’s just sprinkled with enough lines like “give Caesar what is his” to keep people paying their taxes.
An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.

This is probably my darkest personal opinion, but if America wants to keep the death penalty, then I think they should all be conducted by firing squad with no blanks. If you volunteer to be a part of the firing squad, you will be shooting a live bullet into a live human. The death penalty IS barbaric and if this country insists on keeping it, i think the barbarism should be in our faces and not medicalized or otherwise sanitized.
Plus getting shot in the heart by 6 bullets will cause a lot less suffering than a botched lethal injection.

atasteofpb23 hr ago

According to wikipedia, they do the heart to avoid leaving a horribly disfigured corpse from shots coming in from different angles, but I think that's a little simplified. I do remember hearing on an old podcast that there are more logistical reasons too. If the person moves their head under the hood, you can end up with wounds that kill slowly or are survivable in a crazy case. Whereas having several people aiming for their chest (usually with a paper or cloth bullseye as an aid) will generally be quick and deadly, even if the aim isn't perfect.
I tend to think the most painless option would be a pointblank shot to brainstem from the back of the head though, so same kind of thing! But that would require only one executioner and not a firing squad and for some reason, it seems like a single executioner wouldn't sit right with society and wouldn't happen? I'm not even sure why exactly haha

You’re sharing the liability rather than appointing one individual who will carry all the responsibility and risk.
You have multiple shooters with heart shots because head shots would make the body exponentially more difficult to deal with. A cloth hood isn’t going to contain all the head cheese and skull fragments.
The soviets used surprise pistol shots to the head during NKVD executions and German death squads in WWII paired up one victim with one shooter for a shot in the base of the skull. There were frequent survivors and coups de grace.
In the case of multiple shooters with heart shots, you’re looking at a worse case scenario of death taking a couple extra minutes.
A really smart kid once invented a suicide helmet which fired multiple 12ga shells simultaneously into his skull. But again you’re left with quite a mess.

It’s sick that this was rescinding a previous moratorium on using pentobarbital for executions. It’s really expanding the use of lethal pentobarbital injections for execution.
This new federal action provides more options for federal executions, including electrocution and hanging. Those two are not especially swift deaths.
Historically, the number of federal crimes that result in death penalty isn’t huge. Yet the administration wants to have multiple locations for executions to take place. I don’t know if the 44 people they are pursing for the death penalty need that much space. Especially if the goal of the administration is supposedly expedient executions. Hm.

I actually agree. The Soviets usually executed someone by shooting them with one bullet in the back of the head. That honestly seems like a decent way to go. Everything that proceeded that though (arrest and "trial") was horseshit so that's not great.

I'm opposed to capital punishment for all the reasons everyone should be. Namely, we literally cannot apply it fairly. We have proven that over and over and over and over and over again. Like I'm not necessarily opposed to society being willing to hand out death as a punishment for the most egregious and genuinely evil crimes a person can do...but like, you gotta prove you are responsible enough for the big punishment before you give out the big punishment, and our justice system has shown they do not possess that capability a million times over.
Now all that being said, firing squad is actually the best way to execute a person if you're going to do it. It has an effectively 0% botch rate unlike every other form of execution, and it's among the least painful and least anticipatory ways you can execute someone. The people pulling the triggers don't even know if they're the one who really ended the person's life, unlike when a drug cocktail is administered or an electric chair switch is pulled.
We still shouldn't execute people.

It’s like they don’t realize the reason we stopped doing firing squads was for the benefit of the people firing the guns, not the person getting shot. There have been only a couple in the last fifty years and the reason is pretty obvious. There actually aren’t that many people who want to kill other people. Firing squads have historically had a huge problem with the people in the squad refusing to aim at the perp under the belief that “statistically my gun has a blank, so if I intentionally miss then I know 100% I didn’t kill anyone”. The primary benefit of lethal injection is that it removes the act of killing by several layers and reduces it to a button press, which seems to be generally easier for the executioners to live with after the fact.

The fact that they use multiple people to shoot you as to not know which one killed you so they don't feel remorse tells me they know firing squads are wrong.

It would be a very ironically satisfying experience if the punishment for PEDOLF and his criminal staffers was to be executed by firing squad.

#DOJ recommends bringing back firing squads in federal executions
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/trump-justice-department-firing-squads-lethal-injection-executions-rcna341897
>President Donald Trump’s administration plans to add firing squads, *electrocution **and gas asphyxiation*** as alternative methods of executing people convicted of the gravest federal crimes, it announced on Friday, noting difficulties in obtaining drugs for lethal injections.
Are they seriously talking seriously about literally gassing people‽

If hanging is done right it's pretty quick. Even when it goes wrong and pops the head right off like Saddam Hussein it's still quick.

I didn’t know that about Saddam but I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of real life stories of people’s necks breaking and then not dying and then people go up and pull down on them to finish the job. Still better than electric chair or lethal injection imo

It's not a job for the amateur, that's for sure. And if the hangman wants you to suffer and choke it's fairly easy to make sure it happens.

I don’t support the death penalty, frankly
But if you’re going to do it, firing squad seems as quick and to-the-point as the other flawed options.

The problem with a firing squad is you need a person to hold the gun and you have culpability/potential guilt. Unless you get one of those new robots to do it lol.

Some guns have live and some have rounds so the shooters don't "know" for sure if they were the ones that shot.
How it should be anyway.
Then again. Look at ICE, they sign up hoping they get the chance.

Okay, so it looks the the article is saying people can choose how they want to die if they are sentenced to the death penalty. The methods of death include firing squad.
It's concerning because seems like it could be abused by federal employees (ICE, police...) in select states that can legally perform firing squad death sentences. They want to “streamline the process for seeking death sentences” by cutting down on the length between conviction and execution. The logic seems to be that lethal injections take more special resources and time, but I dont completely trust it this being the real reason.

I never understood why lethal injections are so over complicated, couldn’t a veterinarian easily do them and probably more humanely?
